One day in December, I was walking through a park near my studio and noticed from a distance a Red Tailed Hawk in a mature Oak Tree. As I walked closer, this hawk did not fly away as most do. And as an intriguing surprise this raptor began to study me, giving me a unique idea and composition for this painting. – Michael Pape

Giclée - Regular Editionis a regular signed and numbered limited edition, based off the artist proof.

Giclée - Artist ProofEditionis a signed and numbered limited edition. An Artist Proof is the process of the artist manually matching the original painting colour to the limited edition giclée print colour. For example the pupil of an animals eye may be slightly darker on one Artist Proof than another. Each Artist Proof is slightly different in colour. An original if you will. Many artists charge a 20% premium because of this. Artist Proof Editions are usually limited to 10% (20 prints) of the Regular Edition (200 prints) for example. They are the most sought after limited edition by collectors.
